Fleet staff told commission that failure to wait for an on-scene investigator hindered damage assessment and risked missing a drug test

Fleet witnesses told the commission that standard procedure requires drivers to stop, identify themselves and contact Fleet dispatch so an accident report can be generated at the scene. Lashonda Everett, fleet operations manager, and Jelon Woods, fleet training manager, both said leaving the scene complicated efforts to separate new damage from prior hits to the fuel canopy and that Fleet could have performed a drug and alcohol test if called immediately.

Woods also summarized remedial-training observations that identified inattentiveness and delayed reactions and explained the scoring the training team used to evaluate driver performance; Wilkersons remedial-road-test score placed him in the lowest category in the team's rating system.
